The Old Reliable Cooper's Ware
house the Place to sell Your
Tobacco Always.

That there is no better tobacco
market in the State than Henderson,
goes without saying. Nowhere are
there better sales made or higher aver
ages obtained than upon our ware
house floors. Every planter VINO has
sold tobacco here, and every impartial
man not interested in other markets,
comedies this fact. And that D. Y.
Cooper is ahead on big sales and high
averages, especially for all bright and
colory goods, the following FACTS and
FIGURES abundantly show. Who can
not get rich at the prices obtained al
this house by S. Hunter Satterwhite,
one load, 1,47s pounds, all grades, for
$3.50 Geo. W. Wright, one load, crop
round, SIT pounds, $500, average
$50. so /; Workman & Co., one barn,
$40 pounds, average s57.27; Geo. R.
Davis, one barn, 463 pounds, average
SIS; W. c. Rogers, one barn, average
s44.45; W. S. Parker, one barn, aver
age 5000; and many other lots at fig
lreS that no house or man can ''knOCk
out. +" This is the way to account for
the heavy sales of tobacco always at
Cooper's S. warehouse. The "proof Of
pudding is chewing the bag and the
story of big prices is told in the per-
feet army of wagons that unload there
almost daily.
D. Y. Cooper is the Oldest ware
house man in this part of the State,
buys more tobacco, and is the &C
knowledged Napoleon of the trade
His motto is that no house shall sell
tobacco higher than he does. All
bright and desirable tobaccos are in
demand at full prices. As yet there
is no improvement in the price of
common grades, and neither this mar
ket nor this houses processes to realize
big prices for such stock. But Cooper
will do the very best for you that can
be done. Give him a trial promptly
while prices are TIP for good tobacco,
and you will go home pleased. For
top notch prices every time, sell at.
COOPER's.

asm for something. To have faith, we
must have knowledge, training, prac-
tee. We must have something more
than belief-we must have confidence,
assurance, clear-sightedness as seeing
the end from the beginning. We must
have head and heart in our work-we
must feel that our work is our life pre-
server, and willing to work in.the i'm
perative mode, until every faculty and
function works easily without special
supervision or thought; 50 work until
it is easier to succeed than to fail.
Then we may be reasonably sure of
true success. DO not mistake the ne
cessity for hard work and persistent
effort. Do not trust to the develop
ment of genius or you will be disap-
pointed. Genius is labor and dill
gence-it is the child of Pluck and
Plod. Your success will vary with the
power and extent in which you force
your energies upon your life work.
Let every young man learn where he
can be of most service to his fellow
men, and let him acquire heroic
command of self, and full control of,
all his faculties; then let him intensity
all these by a strength of application
to his profession or vocation that is ir-
resistible. Then his one talent will be
changed from whirl of sparks to a
tongue of fire. Education, training,
discipline, self-possession, self-com-
mand, all go to make the man. Man
hood, full, rich, noble, is true success.
Its working motto is ..Thls one thing
do" .- -..-.

TRUE SUCCESS.

"Any fool can tumble into the gut
ter, any fool can make good living,
even become wealthy, but it requires
God S best gold to make a true sue
cess in life"
There is something SO essentially
true in the above that we may be we'll
repaid if we consider the facts. There
are many lamentable failures in life,
many miserable wrecks strown along
the way. What is s'true success ?" We
will try and reach an approximate an
swer by noticing some of the main
reasons why such success is not at
tanned. Emerson has written that
''each man can do some one thing
better than other men," Our first
cause of failure is disregard for adap-
tation to the pursuit or enterprise in
which we are engaged. There are a
few who may achieve success in mod
crate measure in almost any direction,
Most of us are confined to narrow
lines, and soon wear groove in which
we wear our life away. We have not
found or chosen profession or work
requiring the use of our predominant
faculties, nor one in which we find de-
light in the development and activity
of these faculties. There is a want of
fitness or adoption. We are out of
time and place. Perfect harmony of
purpose and action is necessary to pro-
gress and development. To insure
success man must have physical abil-
ity to sustain 4 muCh-worked brain, SO
as to keep mind and body in a good
and healthy condition.
Habits and desires have their influ-
ence. Disregard for the laws of ma
ture which lie at the very foundation
of nervous vitality and brain power
such as the use of stimulants and mar
cotics, and the denial of needed rest,
must result in impairment. Some OF
the worlds best brain is daily destroyed
by the reckless abuse of Natures laws.
This cause of failure is the lack Of that
complete mastery of self, generally
called self-possession. We have Won
derful powers; we have Natures forces,
we have the reservoir of the world'sf
achievements to draw from, but our
forces are not trained and disciplinedI
We are the subject Of. a passion, an APP
petite, a temper, that dooms us to fail
ure. We do not command; we can
not command, because We have never
learned to serve. To succeed we must
have faith in something and enthusi

IT will be unpleasant news to the
many friends of Rev. Chas. F. Deems,
ID. d., pastor of the Church of Stran-
gers, New York City, to learn there is
trouble in his family. The wife of DR..
Frank NJ. Deems, his son, asks for lin
tied divorce in the New York courts.
She charges that her husband was adj
dicted to opium and treated her cruel
ly, while he says that she, too, was a
morphine-eater. Rev. DR.. Deems de-
Hies all of the allegations of his daugh-
ter-in-law and says that she repeatedly
refused to live with her husband.

ERGINIA'S DEBT.

The Virginia debt has been the sub
5ect of considerable unfair comment
both at home and abroad. The case,
briefly stated is this: At the close of
the war Virginia was left with a large
debt, contracted, not upon her honor,
but upon the faith OF her property,
guaranteed as property both by the
State and United States Constitution,
which property the United States took
possession ofb force of arms thus as
suming under the law of Nations,
Virginia's liabilities. That this is law
you have only to refer to Mexico's
debt paid Great Britain by the Amer
lean Government upon the conquest
of Texas, and the decision of the Su-
preme court in estate of Virginia VS..
VIM. Smith" Gov. Smith having in
his hands funds belonging to the State
at the surrender, was captured by Fed
eral troops and the funds taken away
from him. The State brought suit in
the United States Court VS. Smith and
the court held "Virginia had no
claim VS. Smith; that as a conquered
power her assets belonged to the Uni
ted States" thus acknowledging the
law, "when a stronger power takes
possession of the assets of weaker,
she assumes its liabilities" Virginia
should have given the British bond
holders draft on the United States
for the amount, and. under as we'll es-
tablished law as we have, her liability
would have ended. Doubtless under
ordinary circumstances she would have
done SO, but John Bull did not care to
make this demand of Uncle Sam while
she had under arms large, we'll equip
ped and victorious army, if Virginia
would agree to pay it. That she did
agree to pay it, covered even as WIS
her proud spirit IN the days of recon-
is due to the influence of the
lawyers who feared if the State should
repudiate, private individuals would
be allowed the same privilege, and
they would miss the rich harvest they
reaped in sueing for and selling nearly
half the property in the State. The
United States itself repudiated, even
the pay due her soldiers, after the vic
tory of the Revolution, and no dis
honor can attach to Virginia because
she has been robbed of SO much of
her resources she hasn't the ability to
pay. What sin or odium can attach to
her is the result of that false pride
which prevents her acknowledgment
of her poverty and the reiterated
promises to pay what she cannot, and
indeed, never expects to.

The Columbus, Ga, Enquirer ami
Sun voices our sentiments precisely
when it says: Woe is the day when
the women of any land choose to lay
aside the purity and loneliness of their
mothers to sail upon a sea of slime.
The God of Nature has placed them
here to bring the smile of happiness to
the tired face of man, to nurse him in
his hours of misfortune and lull his
cares to rest. But once enlist her in
the ranks of politics, and there is "lack
of woman's nursing" and his eyes
will close upon her with "dearth of
woman's tears"

HERE is what has much to do with
the depressed condition of affairs in
the country: The surplus in the Uni
ted States treasury has increased by
$4,000, 900 since May I. The ex-
perditures during the same time have
been less than usual. Taxation goes
on, the surplus increaces, while expend-
lures become less. The GOLD LEAF
believes in "retrenchment and reform"
but not that kind that Expresses the
people. How is money to circulate
more freely or times get better under
such policy as that now pursued by
the financiers at the head of govern
mental affairs we fail to see.
